The Monster has gone from strength to strength

Another WWE Superstar who hasn't won gold yet, but is guaranteed for some in 2018 would be the Monster Among Men, Braun Strowman.

In the WWE Draft, an astonishing 47 picks were made before then Raw General Manager Mick Foley and Commissioner Stephanie McMahon selected Strowman. To be fair, he was still an unknown as part of the Wyatt Family, but in 2017, he evolved into one of the top superstars in the company with his amazing athleticism and strength.

Strowman had a couple of chances to take the WWE Universal Championship from Brock Lesnar, but would come up short in the end. He has another chance at the Royal Rumble in a couple of weeks, and the fact that Raw received someone that made it to the top of the card in the 10th round is truly a steal.
